A telescope array made the first-ever gas detection in a disk surrounding a faraway star, and that detection suggests a baby, Jupiter-mass exoplanet may have been responsible, the team behind the discovery stated.
Astronomers are planning a fishing trip to land an extraterrestrial interloper on Earth: a small meteorite from another star system that crashed into the Pacific Ocean with energy equivalent to about 121 tons (110 metric tons) of TNT.
In 1989, a group of engineers first started working to design a space telescope that would change the way we see our universe. There was only one problem: much of the technology they would need didn't exist.
Saturn will be at opposition this month, meaning now is the best time to observe the ringed planet that boasts at least 62 moons. Which of the following is one the actual names of one of Saturn's major moons?
Just the Facts, Ma'am "I stopped watching TV news a year ago, so sick of the bias everywhere. But in doing so, I was out of the loop. I decided to give 1440 a try & I've not been disappointed. Finally, Walter Cronkite style reporting! Just the facts. I also love that I can click a link to see more on many stories. Keep up the good work!" Join for free now.
If you step outside on Thursday (Aug. 11) and look toward the east-southeast horizon shortly after 9 p.m. local time, you'll see quite possibly the most spectacular planet in our solar system: The ringed wonder, Saturn.
As for any consensus among scientists that signs of past or present life have been seen by Perseverance, once again, don't wait for a slam dunk observation.

A spiraling jet of radiation from a violently active supermassive black hole could hold the key to a better understanding of the black hole at the center of our own galaxy.
Preparing for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse After imaging five total solar eclipses, I set out to write a unique eclipse ebook! It breaks down eclipse day into 28 chapters that mark an important stage in the eclipse. Each chapter then explains everything you need to know about that stage. A new concept for eclipse books! It's multimedia and written for everyone; learn the observing basics, or dive deep into the details of solar eclipse photography. Learn More
The flagship of Celestron's entry-level telescope range, the Celestron Powerseeker 127EQ's five-inch aperture and equatorial mount make it tempting to beginner astronomers.
